61. Ethno-Mathematics, Daine Ravitch
    A new textbook, “Rethinking Mathematics Teaching Social Justice by the Numbers, ” shows how problem solving, ethnomathematics and political action can be

    Extractions: Diane Ravitch It seems our math educators no longer believe in the beauty and power of the principles of mathematics. They are continually in search of a fix that will make it easy, relevant, fun, and even politically relevant. In the early 1990s, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics issued standards that disparaged basic skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, since all of these could be easily performed on a calculator. This fusion of political correctness and relevance may be the next big thing to rock mathematics education, appealing as it does to political activists and to ethnic chauvinists. It seems terribly old-fashioned to point out that the countries that regularly beat our students in international tests of mathematics do not use the subject to steer students into political action. They teach them instead that mathematics is a universal language that is as relevant and meaningful in Tokyo as it is in Paris, Nairobi and Chicago. The students who learn this universal language well will be the builders and shapers of technology in the 21st century. The students in American classes who fall prey to the political designs of their teachers and professors will not. Ms. Ravitch is a historian of education at New York University, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and a member of the Koret Task Force at the Hoover Institution. She was a Democrat when she was recruited by the first Bush administration as Assistant Secretary of Eucation (1991-1993). Reprinted with permission of the Wall Street Journal and the author.

    Extractions: Ethnomathematics and Indigenous People’s Education Bill Barton The University of Auckland This paper attempts to set the scene for a discussion about ethnomathematics and indigenous education – however it does this from an ethnomathematician’s perspective, not that of an indigenous person. The paper discusses four issues that are seen as important: the distinction between ethnomathematics and indigenous knowledge; the various elaborated aims of ethnomathematical education and the critiques of our potential to reach these aims; the nature of the research evidence; and future directions. It is suggested that links with other fields, and with mathematicians are important, but that the most vital task it to hear the voices of indigenous people as they respond to ethnomathematical approaches. I do not consider myself a member of an indigenous group of any country, but I do consider myself an ethnomathematician: thus it is from the latter perspective that this paper approaches the question of the role of ethnomathematics in indigenous education. I look forward to hearing about this subject from the perspective of indigenous people, and to exploring where these two perspectives meet, and where they diverge—and I hope for some arguments to emerge.

We investigate these questions in various cultural contexts ranging from medieval southern Spain to indigenous Latin America to the islands of the Pacific. Many questions follow, including: How do people in different societies understand what we call "mathematics"? Is math universal? How is math learnt? In what ways do people use math to understand their world? What is the relationship between math and other aspects of people's lives? Number systems, geometry, game theory and fractals will be among the math topics considered. Note: the course will be divided into two parts. Students may elect to take the course for 2-3 credits and attend classes Mondays only, which will be anthropology-heavy days. The 4-credit version includes a Thursday class that emphasizes more mathematical dimensions of the subjects. Marcia Ascher's Mathematics Elsewhere is the one text on sale in the Bokstore.

Students are making connections between different number systems and getting an opportunity to do higher-level thinking, Brody said. See if you can figure out the answers to our Mayan math quiz. Math has moved beyond numbers and formulas at Mesa School in Somis. A group of sixth- and seventh-graders still crack open their textbooks and practice regular math skills most days. But once a week, they turn their math attention to history, culture and places far from Somis. Teacher Jill Brody’s class started learning about Mayan math in September, part of the school’s efforts to incorporate “ethno-mathematics” into some of its classes.

76. Mathematical Patterns In African American Hairstyles
    by G GILMER Cited by 2 - Related articles  
    http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/special/gilmer-gloria_HAIRSTYLES.html
    
    Extractions: The discipline of mathematics includes the study of patterns. Patterns can be found everywhere in nature. See Figure 1 with two bees in a beehive. Often these patterns are copied and adapted by humans to enhance their world. See the pineapple in Figures 2a and the adapted hairstyle in Figure 2b. Ethnomathematics is the study of such mathematical ideas involved in the cultural practices of a people. Its richness is in exploring both the mathematical and educational potential of these same practices. The idea is to provide quicker and better access to the scientific knowledge of humanity as a whole by using related knowledge inherent in the culture of pupils and teachers. fig1 TWO BEES IN A BEEHIVE Going into a community, examining its languages and values, as well as its experience with mathematical ideas is a first and necessary step in understanding ethnomathematics. In some cases, these ideas are embedded in products developed in the community. Examples of this phenomena are geometrical designs and patterns commonly used in hair braiding and weaving in African-American communities. For me, the excitement is in the endless range of scalp designs formed by parting the hair lengthwise, crosswise, or into curves. INTRODUCTION.

We all have some notions of what ethnomathematics is, but should it be influencing school mathematics? An important change in mathematical instruction needs to take place in order to accommodate the change in the demographics of students. Teachers and Supervisors need to be instructed in gearing education more toward students of different cultures. This paper describes why and how ethno- mathematics should influence mathematics. It emphasizes why ethno mathematics is important in math education and focuses on the way that culture plays an important role in a child's life. The term "ethno- mathematics" refers to mathematical concepts embedded in cultural practices." Posted to Site: Find Related Articles
